CC Seeks Volunteers for Thyroid Tumor Detection Study

Did you know your thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate body temperature, heart rate and metabolism? Physicians want to explore a better method to detect thyroid tumors by using a compound called 68Gallium-DOTATATE. This compound may bind to a tumor and make it visible during a PET/CT scan. This information will help guide future research and treatment. Contact the NIH Clinical Center Office of Patient Recruitment at 866-444-2214 (TTY users dial 7-1-1) or email ccopr@nih.gov. Refer to study #000079-DK. For more information, see: https://go.nih.gov/wzd8jOq.
